Picture shows the city of Durham, as it looks from the main tower of Durham Cathedral

Picture shows the city of Durham, as it looks from the main tower of Durham Cathedral. This picture shows the Framwellgate Bridge which became pedestrian in the early 1970s, and St Margarets Church on the left.
Durham is a historic city and the county town of County Durham in North East England. The city lies on the River Wear, to the south-west of Sunderland, south of Newcastle upon Tyne and to the north of Darlington. Founded over the final resting place of St Cuthbert, its Norman cathedral (at the centre of this picture) became a centre of pilgrimage in medieval England.
The name " Durham" comes from the Celtic element " dun", signifying a hill fort, and the Old Norse " holme", which translates to island.
Picture taken circa 1st June 1965
